Sahalie Falls 
Giant man eating plant! The plant burped up a man's hat!
Gazing at the blue pond in child like amazement. Don't worry Mom and Gram my seat only looks dangerous it really was not I promise.
Sun beams sent down an angelThis Weekend we traversed the entire McKenzie River Trail not once but twice totaling near 60 miles! It was an amazing trip dotted with beautiful tourist attractions like waterfalls, a blue pond, ancient lava flow, and old growth forest. The main purpose was training for circumnavigating Mt Rainier in the end of August (details will be blogged another post). We wanted to make sure all our gear was up to par and what it was like to run with a heavier pack etc. We also wanted to use our SteriPEN like real Native Americans, and drink from the river since there is not drinking fountains along the trail. Dad says, "It sounds too much like a magic wand" but so far so good we are not sick. Check out the link and read about it I dunno water taste good.
This weekend we plan on running Wildwood trail again with a running group. Ash has already ran the whole thing that weekend my ankle tendon acted up, but I am yet to complete the entire trail in a day, so ought to be fun. We are looking forward to visitors coming soon (both Mommy's). The weather here has finally turned summer so get excited we can drive in the Jeep with the top down!
Listen for the Ken laugh in the third video

How do you know if it works or it doesn't work??????? I had so much fun with you guys I cannot wait to come back. Thanks Ry for taking ALL those pictures for me and Ashley. Have fun with your mom next next week. Make sure you play shurades. Keep taking these little running trips every weekend cause I am loving the cute laughs and especially the goat in the one forest.... and the angel that fell from the bright sunshine.. GREAT JOB.
